Encountering harassment #FediTips
Unfortunately, it happens here too.
Use the tools and let your #admin help protect you.
• You can Mute, Block, Report a user from their profile page.
• You can also block their domain. If it's not one of the big servers, you should probably go ahead and use defederation as defense and shut it down.
• When you Report a user you'll be asked to choose which of the server rules were violated.
• Admins will be notified and should take action.
• Find a safe instance.

@ralf Absolutely not. They can be here as human beings who interact with the community in good faith on the existing community's terms, or not at all.
We absolutely do not in any way, shape or form need journalists to "legitimize" the fediverse. We're doing quite well over here with our weird little gay radical corner of the internet, thank you very much.
This is a space for people, not for Brands. Brands are not welcome here.

I just shared a Mastodon toot to a different IM service and my muscle memory "helped" me to remove the tracking parameter that was actually the toot ID 😂

@vyr I vaguely recall this being a bug that people were talking about, with AUTHORIZED_FETCH breaking *all* API responses
re: meta
@PastaThief @discordiankitty@mastodon.me.uk Heisenbugs are the worst :p
@aral Do keep in mind that not all replies are visible to everybody though, for a variety of reasons related to network issues, instance bans, and privacy settings.

Remember, people are more willing to bring their whole selves to Mastodon.
For example, you may have initially started following someone for their weird bullshit, but don't be surprised that they also choose to share their much weirder bullshit too.
re: fediverse, beginner's guide
@arcade Huh, TIL, didn't know a game with that name existed :p
re: fediverse, beginner's guide
@arcade The... game?
fediverse, beginner's guide
Decided to have a shot at writing a very concise guide to the fediverse, because a lot of the guides are quite long: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/f924e846c24ec7ed82d6d554a7e7c9a8
Hope this is helpful to someone!

Twitter & Musk
WOW. Elon Musk just took a swipe at Mastodon, calling it "Masterbatedon" and making fun of the people here.
A man who just spent $44 BILLION USD is afraid of this service. And he should be. There's no way he can make money off of it.
This is how we take back the internet and our lives, my friends.

Draadje over executive dysfunction
Vandaag ga ik een draadje maken over executive dysfunction, oftewel dat je niks gedaan krijgt omdat je adhd-hersenen haperen.

Signing up to a new social media site with lots of activity and interactions on your content, making new friends and finding new lovely art, can be a big pull.
Take breaks, stay hydrated, do some focused breathing, remember to take your meds, and take care of yourself. 
We'll be here when you get back.

Mastodon has the "Advanced web interface" which looks like the ol' tweetdeck. I don't like the super narrow columns, so I use Stylus (browser extension) to add this little css to make the home column wider:
.column[aria-label=Home] {
width: 650px;
}

twitter, freenode, activism, positive
I'm really quite happy about how many people are recognizing the similarities between the Freenode implosion and the current Twitter shitshow, and how it's helping to inform people on what to do and expect next.
This was kind of a stretch goal for the Freenode thing from an activist perspective; clearly communicating the power dynamics behind the implosion, so that people could learn from it and prevent/mitigate similar situations in other places in the future.
It's always hard to measure whether that sort of thing works, but I think it's safe to say that it has indeed worked in this case! Though I have to admit, I didn't expect Twitter to be the place where it'd become relevant :)
